Dark or white skinless cooked chicken will work for this. You will love these! Plan ahead the chicken mixture needs to chill for a minimum of 2 hours before shaping and frying. Make certain to finely chop the cooked chicken, if possible use a herb-flavored crouton, make your own or use purchased, you can process the croutons on a food processor if desired, I have made this recipe many times, they are *very* good! :) Ingredients:
2 medium onions, finely chopped |
1 tablespoon fresh minced garlic |
1 stalk celery, finely diced (optional) |
3 tablespoons butter |
3 1/4 cups finely chopped cooked chicken |
2 large eggs, slightly beaten (might need one more egg) |
1 1/2 cups finely crushed flavored croutons (more if needed, or use seasoned dry breadcrumbs) |
1 -2 tablespoon minced fresh parsley |
1 teaspoon seasoning salt (or to taste) |
3 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese |
black pepper |
cayenne pepper (optional) |
oil (for frying) |
Directions:
1. In a medium or small skillet melt butter over medium heat; add in onion, garlic and celery (if using) sauté for about 3 minutes or until soft; transfer to a large bowl.
2. To the bowl add in cooked chicken, 2 eggs, crushed croutons or breadcrumbs, parsley, seasoned salt and Parmesan cheese; mix to combine (if the mixture is too dry then add in one more egg if too moist add in a small amount more of croutons and mix again).
3. Season with black pepper to taste and cayenne (if using).
4. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.
5. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
6. Shape into small thin patties and add to oil.
7. Fry until golden brown.
